Carrot bread

This is a fabulous recipe for a beautiful hearty bread. It was so simple to make.....no kneading! Chef Jim Leahy of Sullivan's Bakery in NYC was on Martha Stewart on Thursday and the segment caught my eye. I just had to try it. His method is very simple, very low on yeast, no kneading and you bake the bread in a cast iron Dutch oven. The secret ingredient is time. I started the process Saturday at 3 pm and had the bread for today's lunch. I used 50% wheat flour, 50% all purpose flour, 1 1/2 cup fresh carrot juice. I am making this again for Thanksgiving in Seattle...maybe even sooner.
